INSTRUCTIONS:
• Students rotate through centers
• Students are given choices of centers and activities. Not all students are required to complete all
learning centre tasks.
• Students usually must complete 1 or 2 mandatory centers and then are given choices on which
other stations they would like to complete. Allowing students’ options and choices yet still making
sure students are meeting curriculum expectations.
• Formative assessment can easily be obtained by observing students working at their stations.
SAMPLE LEARNING STATIONS can be used and altered to fit most curriculum expectations or topics.
1. Frayer Model Station: Verbal-Linguistic
2. Word Sort: Naturalist, Interpersonal
3. Hot Potato: Musical-Rhythmic, Body-Kinesthetic
4. Microscope station: Visual-Spatial,
5. Grab Bag: Verbal/Linguistic, Existential (ponder it)
6. Video/Computer Interactive: Visual/Spatial, Body-Kinesthetic
2. Copy your sorted terms on the paper provided and MAKE SURE that EACH GROUP MEMBER is able
to explain WHY you sorted the terms in the manner that you did.

Please copy how your group has arranged your words on this paper and hand in for assessment at
the end of the period.
The onion root tip is an area of rapidly dividing cells. This means that there is a lot of growth in this
area and rapidly dividing cells are usually smaller than cells in an area where no cell division occurs.
1. Look at the four microscopes that are set up. Each microscope (numbered 1-4) has a pointer
showing a different stage of mitosis.
2. In the observation section, draw and title each of the phases that you see.
4. In the space provided below your diagrams, state one or two reasons that helped you identify
which stage of mitosis the onion cell was in.

2. Have one group member be the DJ to start and stop the music.
4. When the music starts group members should pass their cell models clockwise.
5. When the music stops, each member must identify which stage of mitosis their cell model is in
and share the information with the rest of the group. Explain how you know which stage your
cell model is in.
6. If there are extra models available, trade some in for new ones and start the music again.
Continue for at least 5 rounds of hot potato.
1. Each member of the group must complete the Frayer model worksheet. (Note there is a backside
to the worksheet).
2. Complete all of the sections of the worksheet and then discuss your Frayer models with each other.
3. You must HAND IN your worksheets for assessment at the end of class.

1. Sit in a circle.
2. One person begins and draws a word or term out of the bag.
3. You must think of a sentence that has the word or term in it that relates somehow to Mitosis.
5. Once everyone agrees that the sentence makes sense in relation to the term have one group
member record the sentence on the sheet of paper provided.

4. On this site you can watch the entire cell cycle uninterrupted and then look at specific stages of
mitosis frozen in time by clicking on the name.
5. Complete the worksheet provided by stating what happens in each stage of mitosis beside the
diagram in point form. HAND IN when completed.
